Das Boot is both the name of a german submarine movie and also the name of a traditional beer drinking glass. The glass holds 2 liters of beer, or in some cases 2 liters with room for foam (3 liters to the rim). It is the final drinking contest in Oktoberfest and also featured in the movie "beerfest". Literally translated it means "the boat" or in the context of the drinking glass "the boot".
